Smali and Baksmali – smali/baksmali is an assembler/disassembler for the dex format used by dalvik, Android’s Java VM implementation.

SPARTA – The SPARTA project (Static Program Analysis for Reliable Trusted Apps) is building a toolset to verify the security of mobile phone applications.

Thresher – Thresher is a static analysis tool that specializes in checking heap reachability properties. Its secret sauce is using a coarse up-front points-to analysis to focus a precise symbolic analysis on the alarms reported by the points-to analysis.

VectorAttackScanner – A tool to analyze Android apps to detect points to attack, such as intents, receivers, services, processes and libraries

Dynamic Analysis Tools（动态分析工具）

Android Hooker – This project provides various tools and applications that can be use to automaticaly intercept and modify any API calls made by a targeted application.

AppAudit – Online tool (including an API) to detect hidden data leaks in apps using both dynamic and static analysis.

Drozer – Drozer allows you to search for security vulnerabilities in apps and devices by assuming the role of an app and interacting with the Dalvik VM, other apps’ IPC endpoints and the underlying OS.

Marvin – Marvin is a system that analyzes Android applications in search of vulnerabilities and allows tracking of an app through its version history.

Inspeckage – Inspeckage is a tool developed to offer dynamic analysis of Android applications. By applying hooks to functions of the Android API, Inspeckage will help you understand what an Android application is doing at runtime.

PATDroid – A collection of tools and data structures for analyzing Android applications and the system itself. Forms the basis of AppAudit.

dextra – dextra utility began its life as an alternative to the AOSP’s dexdump and dx –dump, both of which are rather basic, and produce copious, but unstructured output. In addition to supporting all their features, it also supports various output modes, specific class, method and field lookup, as well as determining static field values. I lated updated it to support ART (which is also one of the reasons why the tool was renamed).

Lobotomy – Lobotomy is an Android security toolkit that will automate different Android assessments and reverse engineering tasks. The goal of the Lobotomy toolkit is to provide a console environment, which would allow a user to load their target Android APK once, then have all the necessary tools without needing to exit that environment. The 1.2 release will remain open source.

Online Analyzers（在线分析网站）

Android Observatory – The Android Observatory is a web interface to a large repository of Android applications. It allows users to search or browse through thousands of Android apps and retrieve metadata for those apps.

Android Testing Distributions（安卓测试环境）

Androl4b – An Android security virtual machine based on Ubuntu Mate. It includes a collection of the latest frameworks, tutorials and labs from different security geeks and researchers for reverse engineering and malware analysis

Appie – A portable software package for Android Pentesting and an awesome alternative to existing Virtual machines.It is a one stop answer for all the tools needed in Android Application Security Assessment, Android Forensics, Android Malware Analysis.

Santoku Linux – Santoku is an OS and can be run outside a VM as a standalone operating system.

Shadow OS – ShadowOS is a free tool designed by Fortify on Demand to help Security and QA teams test Android applications for security vulnerabilities. It is a custom OS based off of KitKat that intercepts specific areas of the device’s operation and makes testing apps for security vulnerabilites easier.

Android Security Apps（安全工具）

Android IMSI-Catcher-Detector – It is an app to detect IMSI-Catchers. IMSI-Catchers are false mobile towers (base stations) acting between the target mobile phone(s) and the real towers of service providers. As such they are considered a Man-In-The-Middle (MITM) attack. In the USA the IMSI-Catcher technology is known under the name “StingRay”.

Am I Vulnerable – AIV is an Android security app that notifies the user of publicly known vulnerabilities found in the installed version of apps on the device.

Android Vulnerability Test Suite – In the spirit of open data collection, and with the help of the community, let’s take a pulse on the state of Android security. NowSecure presents an on-device app to test for recent device vulnerabilities.

NetHunter – The Kali Linux NetHunter project is the first open source Android penetration testing platform for Nexus devices. NetHunter supports Wireless 802.11 frame injection, one-click MANA Evil Access Point setups, HID keyboard (Teensy like attacks), as well as BadUSB MITM attacks – and is built upon the sturdy shoulders of the Kali Linux distribution and toolsets.

Koodous – Koodous is a collaborative platform that combines the power of online analysis tools with social interactions between the analysts over a vast APKs repository focused on the detection of fraudulent patterns in Android applications. You can download their Android application to check whether your device contain any mailicious app or not.

SecureMe Droid (SMD) – is a security application for Android devices that scans existing apps, newly installed and updated apps for known vulnerabilities and security issues.

Application Security Framework（安全测试框架）

AndroBugs – The AndroBugs Framework is an Android vulnerability analysis system that helps developers or hackers find potential security vulnerabilities in Android applications. Its commandline interface and output offer superb efficiency and accuracy.

AppMon – AppMon is a runtime security testing & profiling framework for macOS, iOS and android apps. It is useful for mobile penetration testers to validate the security issues report by a source code scanner by validating them by inspecting the API calls at runtime.
Also useful for monitoring the app’s overall activity and focus on things that seem suspicious e.g. data leaks, credentials, tokens etc. You can either use pre-defined scripts or write your own to modify the app’s functionality/logic in the runtime e.g. spoofing the DeviceID, spoofing the GPS co-ordinates, faking In-App purchases,
bypassing Apple’s TouchID etc.

Qark – Quick Android Review Kit – This tool is designed to look for several security related Android application vulnerabilities, either in source code or packaged APKs. The tool is also capable of creating “Proof-of-Concept” deployable APKs and/or ADB commands, capable of exploiting many of the vulnerabilities it finds. There is no need to root the test device, as this tool focuses on vulnerabilities that can be exploited under otherwise secure conditions.

SUPER – Secure, Unified, Powerful and Extensible Rust Android Analyzer can be used to automatically analyze apps for vulnerabilities.
